Description Tom Henderson 2012-01-31 13:38:51 UTC

I just tried to use pyviz on a system without pygraphviz.

At configure time and build time, the visualizer library is built.  However, at runtime, when I type (e.g.) ./waf --run wifi-adhoc --vis, I get
No visualization support (No module named pygraphviz).

Could/should we add dependency checking to ./waf configure to alert people that visualization won't work?  e.g. 

Visualization                   : not enabled (reason)

and suppress the building of visualizer library if the python support is absent?
